Archaeological Museum of Arlon
A museum for the whole family! Created in 1934, the Archaeological Museum of Arlon brings together many testimonies of the Gallo-Roman civilization discovered on the territory of the province of Luxembourg. The city of Arlon, which is located at the crossroads of two important Roman roads (Reims-Trier and Metz-Tongeren) experienced in particular great prosperity during the first centuries of our era, thanks to trade with neighboring regions, and as far as the Mediterranean. Located on the former territory of the city of Trevires, the agglomeration was called Orolaunum vicus. One of the peculiarities of the museum is its imposing and rich lapidary collection, composed of several dozen fragments of ancient funerary monuments. The remarkable conservation of these sculptures is due to their reuse in the foundations of the rampart built at the end of Antiquity to protect Orolaunum vicus from Germanic raids. In addition to the lapidary section, the museum also presents a wide variety of other objects, such as: - a collection of ceramics, - a collection of glasses, - a collection of metals, - a collection of organic material (wood, leather, bones), - a collection of mosaics and painted plasters, - the result of the excavations carried out at Arlon and the Villa de Mageroy

Château de Rossignol
En 1097, Arnoul II, Comte de Chiny, bâtit à Rossignol un château-forteresse, un moulin et un four. Une agglomération se forma. Cent ans plus tard, Rossignol devint une seigneurie. Au XVIème siècle, les troupes du Duc de Nevers rasèrent le château. Gilles de Waha et Claude de Laittres le rebâtirent en 1609. La famille de Laittres, originaire de Saint-Mard occupa le château jusqu'en 1874, date du décès de Théodore de Laittres. Sa sœur Gabrielle, comtesse van der Straeten-Ponthoz devint propriétaire et ses descendantes furent les dernières occupantes. En août 1914, les comtesses van der Straeten mirent le château à la disposition de la croix-rouge qui aménagea une ambulance. Près de 800 soldats y affluèrent le 22 août 1914. Il y a quelques années, le château (et le parc de 12 hectares) a été racheté par la commune et est devenu un centre culturel. Les Jeunesses Musicales y organisent chaque année au mois d'août le Gaume Jazz Festival, de renommée internationale. Une partie du château abrite également un Centre de Formation socioculturelle dépendant de la Communauté française (Direction Générale de la Culture) destiné à l'accueil de stages et de formations culturelles (avec possibilité d'hébergement et de restauration). A partir de 1976, le premier étage du bâtiment héberge le Centre d'Animation Globale du Luxembourg et ses partenaires Projets Luxembourg et Histoire Collective. Le château présente un plan quadrangulaire avec une tour circulaire au sud-est. On accède au domaine via un corps de passage, dont les fondations seraient celles de la forteresse d'origine; un large perron précède l'entrée principale du château frappée des armes des Waha, Philomela, Laittres et Custines. En effet, le château de Rossignol fut édifié à l'initiative de Louise de Waha et de son mari Claude de Laittres. (source texte : www.tintigny.be)
